They sure seem too. I have never noticed any problems

mine want nothing to do with celery, even chopped up, or broccilli for that matter havent tried it cooked tho

i know parrots go nuts for pomegranates so i wonder if chickens would too?

I went to toss them cranberries yesterday, we had extras after making homemade cranberry sauce & salad and they were gone before they hit the ground. Then the chickens realized I had more in the bowl and came after me. I tossed the bowl and ran the other direction. Been there before, I really don't like being covered with chickens who are trying to land on me to get to the treat first.

Mine seemed to think they were "interesting" and went after them for a bit then quit, leaving stains all over the concrete.(lesson learned) They are still young chikens tho so an appetite may develope for them later.
